The Old Peace update in Warframe changed the game with the addition of the Tauron Strike mechanic. It opens a world of unique bonuses and added abilities, breathing new life into combat.
Once you complete The Old Peace update and unlock the Perita Rebellion mode, you can freely harness the power of Tauron Strike. But here’s a twist—this mechanic isn’t limited just to Perita Rebellion as long as you get your hands on Tektolyst Artifacts.
Curious about the various weapons and their passive abilities? Let’s dive into the details!
All Tauron Strike Tektolyst Weapon Passives in Warframe
There are five unique Tektolyst Artifact weapons that you can uncover in Warframe. Each weapon unlocks specific nodes that enhance your gameplay:
- Cogron (unlocks Uniaru Tauron Strike nodes)
- Lorak (unlocks Zenurik Tauron Strike nodes)
- Nidri (unlocks Vazarin Tauron Strike nodes)
- Thara (unlocks Madurai Tauron Strike nodes)
- Vexoric (unlocks Naramon Tauron Strike nodes)
Each weapon corresponds with a set of passive nodes that suit various builds. When you acquire a Tektolyst Artifact (essential for using these weapons outside of Perita Rebellion), it grants access to five extra passive nodes. You’ll automatically unlock the first level, but to access the others, you’ll need to gather various resources.

How to Get Tektolyst Artifacts in Warframe
You can snag Tektolyst Artifacts from Marie by trading in these resources:
- 150 Lyroic Bridge (from Hunhullus)
- 150 Ren Hypercore (from Dactolyst)
- 150 Ascaris Prime (from Prime Vanguard)
Completing Perita Rebellion missions is your best shot at collecting these resources. Plus, you’ll receive 75 of each during The Old Peace quest, but you’ll need to grind for the rest.
Choosing between multiple Artifacts can be pricey, so make your first selection wisely!
